"The Wal-Mart chain has now officially ended sales of the Green gPC Linux systems in its stores.

“This really wasn’t what our customers were looking for,” said Wal-Mart Stores Inc. spokeswoman Melissa O’Brien.

That pretty much says it all really. A $200 PC with pretty much everything you need already included and installed (except, and this might have been the critical mistake, a monitor) on it for nothing is not what your standard shopper at Wal-Mart who’s looking for a new PC wants."
